So good! I love this restaurant and the menu is seasonal so I get to try new things when they rotate the menu. The owner is from Italy and brings authentic cuisine to Waco. It is such a cool vibe inside also. I always have a great meal here.

This is a Waco staple and is family owned, been around for decades. It is so good. Nothing fancy. Homecooked, Texas sized meals, friendly environment. I love all the side options and if I'm not super hungry, I can get a big salad.

This is the nicest restaurant in Waco if you want a fancy or romantic dinner. Great for a celebration or birthday. The food is amazing and definitely worth the price. AND THE POPOVER ROLLS!!!! Worth it just for the bread.

This place doesn't get enough love. Nothing fancy, the menu is written on the wall including all of their monthly specials. The freshest seafood year round and it is always so, so good! I try something different every time and I love all of it.

I have an addiction to the jalapeno ranch and chips that is served. I love it so much. I could eat Chuy's all the time. Great low key place with a family friendly vibe. Always great food and great price.

Absolutely the best view in downtown Waco. This is in Chip and Jo's hotel, on the top floor and the view is of the courthouse and the Alico, the tallest building in Waco. The food is good, not amazing, but good. I have been a few times and LOVE to go...

The vibe is romantic and the food is mouthwatering good. Large portions, so sharing is advised. Great if you want to go sit at the bar or go for happy hour and grab appetizers. Also, nice dimly lit spot for a date. The food, always SO GOOD!

One of the more expensive and classy places in town. Great steak and seafood options. Nice outdoor patio for drinks and apps. I know I will always get a top tier meal here. Yes, it is expensive. But, it will be worth it. Great for celebrations, dates...
